This is the sequel to My Dad, the Superhero. Following previous volume, which was about Sanha's dilemma in finding out that his father was the superhero Tigerman and the daily life of the superhero dad, this book shows what happens to Sanha when he is transferred to a superhero school for children with special abilities like him. Just because you have superpowers doesn't mean you can use them right away. Real power is built through long hours of training and practice, and heroes are also trained. That's why young superheroes need school. This book show the process by which children with superpowers that might seem like a blessing come to think about their strengths, train to use them accurately, and find things to help them. You can meet the worries, fluctuations and growth stories of young superheroes. Sanha is gradually becoming a superhero, tearing open car doors or leaping great distances. Tigerman, his dad, encourages him to enter superhero school. So Sanha goes to the new school, but he's nervous about the new environment. There, he meets various teachers: Jusarang, Jenny, Hagaon, and Shin Dong-yeop. Why does the super hero school look like and abandoned factory, the dormitories like cemetaries? Who are these mysterious teachers, all of the seniors? The children all have their own special abilities: human computers, invisible hands, mirrors of the mind. There is also Dong-yeop who is a martial arts buff. The children will form The Next Heroes, planning to help those in need...
